Yeah, So, Good Luck with That

According to MLB.com’s Ken Gurnick, Dodgers outfielder Juan Pierre is looking to be traded. Quoth Pierre’s agent, Mark Pieper:

The team has gone in a different direction since it signed him. He has no hard feelings toward anybody. But his preference would be a trade to a team with more playing time than he currently gets. He’ll drop any no-trade clause he has to make that happen. Maybe there’s a better fit.

Different direction? As in, first playoff series win in 20 years? Yeah, that’s novel.

More playing time than he currently gets? A better fit? Okay, so the first order of business is to find a crap team that can afford to stick a 31-year-old outfielder with no arm and limited offensive value in the lineup every day.

And we haven’t even gotten to the money yet. Pierre, in case you had forgotten, is owed $28.5 million guaranteed over the next three years. Yeah, I know, it makes you wish you were real fast.

Anyway, if you know a team that can afford to pay a guy like Pierre to play regularly, get in touch with Pieper or the Dodgers. Maybe you can work something out.

Or maybe not.
